I call BS. I cite such things as the FreeBSD kernel and the Mach microkernel, which together form XNU, the OS X kernel. I cite the FreeBSD user space tools that form the rest of the Darwin OS that underpins OS X. I cite Apache, the web server used for the Web Sharing service. I cite KHTML and KJS, the backbone of Safari. So I ask, "what proprietary license?"
